Bodily injury means physical harm, sickness or disease, including death, caused by an auto acci-dent and suffered by a person. Business use means the use of any auto to con-vey any operator between his/her place of employ-ment and another location during the course of the operator’s employment and at the direction of the operator’s employer.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS ABOVE MAY RESULT IN OUR RE-FUSAL TO EXTEND TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RE-QUESTING COVERAGE ANY PROTECTION UNDER THIS POLICY FOR THE AUTO ACCIDENT OR LOSS.

PART I – LIABILITY COVERAGE INSURING AGREEMENT We will pay damages, other than punitive or exem-plary, for bodily injury or property damage for which you become legally responsible because of an auto accident. Liability coverage applies to you while driv-ing your covered auto and to you while driving an auto other than your covered auto, if you have per-mission from the owner to drive the auto. Liability cov-erage will not apply to you while driving an auto that is not listed on the declarations page and that is: 1. Owned or leased by you; or 2. Available for your regular use; or 3. Owned or leased by a resident of your household. Liability coverage will apply to any other person driving your covered auto with your permission, provided they are not a resident of your household and do not use your covered auto on a regular basis. We will provide liability coverage for an auto you rent from a car rental agency or garage, ONLY while your covered auto is being serviced or repaired, or if it has been stolen or destroyed. PLEASE NOTE THAT NO COVERAGE IS AFFORDED TO VEHICLES RENTED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN THOSE STATED ABOVE. Any liability coverage we provide with respect to an auto you do not own or lease shall be excess over and above any other collectible insurance covering the auto you are driving. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS These benefits are in addition to our limit of liability for damages. We will pay for the cost of investigating the auto accident and arranging for the settlement of any claim against you. We will also defend you, hire and pay a lawyer and pay all defense costs if someone sues you for damages because of an auto accident even if the accusations are not true. However, we have no duty to defend lawsuits for bodily injury and prop-erty damage not covered by this policy. We may inves-tigate and settle any claim or lawsuit as we deem ap-propriate. We will not be obligated to pay for the cost of any further investigation or arrangement for settle-

ment or defend you further after we have offered to pay our entire limit of liability. We will pay up to $100 for the cost of bail bonds re-quired because of an auto accident, including related traffic law violations. The auto accident must result in bodily injury or property damage covered under this policy. If the person who sues you tries to tie up your property by an attachment, we will pay for a bond to release the at-tachment. However, we will not pay the premium for at-tachment bond amounts that are more than our limit of liability. If you lose a lawsuit that we are defending, we will pay the court costs, including appeal costs if we decide to appeal. We will also pay pre-judgment and post-judgment interest on the amount of the judgment up to the policy limits. We will pay this interest from the day the judgment is entered until we have offered the other party the amount of the judgment up to the full limits of liability available under this coverage. We will pay your expense for first aid to others at the scene of an auto accident involving an auto we insure. We will pay other reasonable expenses incurred at our request, including up to $25 a day for loss of earnings because of attendance at hearings or trials at our re-quest. PROTECTION FOR OTHERS Anyone with a valid driver license or valid driving privi-leges using your covered auto with the covered auto owner’s permission, and within the scope of such per-mission, who is not a named insured under a valid and effective auto insurance policy, has the same rights and obligations that you have under this coverage. How-ever, this protection is not afforded to any regular or occasional user of your covered auto or to any resi-dent of your household, unless that person is listed as an additional driver on the declarations page. Any change in regular operators or residents in your household must be reported to us immediately.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY The limit of liability shown on the declarations page is the most we will pay per auto accident or loss regard-less of the number of claims made, covered autos, insured persons, lawsuits brought, vehicles involved in an auto accident, or premiums paid. Your declarations page shows a split limit: 1. The amount shown for “each person is the most we

will pay for all damages due to a bodily injury to one person; and

2. Subject to the “each person” limit, the amount shown for “each accident” is the most we will pay for all damages due to bodily injury sustained by two or more persons in any one auto accident; and

3. The amount shown for property damage is the most we will pay for all property damage for which you become legally liable as a result of any one auto accident.

The bodily injury limit for “each person” includes the total of all claims made for such bodily injury and all claims derived from such bodily injury, including, but not lim-ited to, loss of society, loss of companionship, loss of services, loss of consortium, and wrongful death. No one shall be entitled to duplicate payments for the same elements of damages. Any payment to a person under this Part I shall be re-duced by any payment to that person under Part II – Excess Medical Expense Coverage for the same ele-ment of damages. A motor vehicle and attached trailer are considered one motor vehicle. Therefore, the limits of liability will not be increased for an auto accident involving a mo-tor vehicle which as an attached trailer. OTHER INSURANCE This insurance is primary for any auto owned or leased by you and that is described on the declarations page, or any additional auto or replacement auto we insure. If you are using a temporary replacement auto or non-owned auto, our liability insurance will be excess over any other collectible insurance. If more than one policy applies to an accident involving your covered auto, we will pay only our share of the loss. Our share is the pro-portion that our limit of liability bears to the total of all ap-plicable limits. If there is other liability insurance applicable on the same primary or excess basis as this coverage, we will pay only our share of the loss. Our share is the pro-portion that our limit of liability bears to the total of all applicable limits.

able for the same expenses under the liability coverage. No payments will be made unless the injured person or that person’s legal representative agrees in writing that any payment shall be applied toward any settlement or judgment that person receives under liability coverage. OTHER INSURANCE If there is other applicable auto medical payment insur-ance, we will pay only our share. Our share is the propor-tion that our limit of liability bears to the total of all applica-ble auto medical payments limits.

PART III – PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE INSURING AGREEMENT If you pay a specific premium for collision and compre-hensive coverage, we will pay for direct and accidental loss to your covered auto, less any applicable deductible shown on the declarations page for your covered auto. We do not cover physical damage on a temporary re-placement auto; however, physical damage coverage will transfer to an auto you rent from a car rental agency or garage while your covered auto is being repaired as a result of a covered loss. A covered loss is defined as a loss that occurs during our policy period in which our Physical Damage Coverage applies.

10. A loss resulting from manufacturer’s defects, wear and tear, freezing, mechanical or electrical break-down or failure, or road damage to tires. However, coverage does apply if the damage is the result of other losses covered by this policy.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY Our maximum limit of liability for losses is the actual cost to repair or replace the damaged property. Pay-ment will not exceed the actual cash value of the prop-erty at the time of the loss. If the loss is a part thereof, the payment will not exceed the actual cash value of such part at the time of loss nor what it would then cost to repair or replace the property or such part thereof with other of like, kind and quality. All payments are reduced by the applicable deductible shown on the declarations page. TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES We will pay up to $10 per day, to a maximum of $300, for transportation expenses incurred by you. This ap-plies only in the event of the theft of your covered auto. We will pay only transportation expenses in-curred during the period beginning 48 hours after the theft has been reported to us and the police, and end-ing when your covered auto is returned to use or we pay for its loss. RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT When there is a loss to one of your covered autos described on the declarations page for which a spe-cific premium charge indicates that rental reimburse-ment coverage is afforded, we will reimburse you for expenses you incur to rent a temporary replacement auto. This coverage applies only if the auto is with-drawn from use for more than 24 hours and the loss is caused by collision, or covered under the compre-hensive part of this policy. Our payment will be limited

12

to that period of time reasonably required to repair or replace the auto. If your covered auto is stolen and not recovered or declared a total loss by us, we will pay up to five (5) days after we make an offer to pay for the loss. The most we will pay under rental reimburse-ment coverage is $20 per day to a maximum of $600. The most we will pay for rental reimbursement and transportation expense coverage in any one (1) occur-rence is $600. TOWING AND LABOR If you pay a specific premium for towing and labor costs, we will pay towing and labor costs incurred each time your covered auto is disabled, up to the amount shown on the declarations page as applicable to that vehicle. The most we will pay per occurrence is $40, not to exceed six (6) occurrences per 6-month policy period. We will only pay for labor performed at the place of disablement, provided disablement does not occur at your place of residence. PAYMENT OF LOSS We may pay for the loss in cash or we may repair or replace the damaged or stolen property. We may take all or part of the damaged property at the agreed or appraised value. Before a loss is paid or the property is replaced, we may return any stolen property to you at our expense with payment for any damage. We may settle any loss either with you or the owner of the property. PREMIUM EARNED ON TOTAL LOSS In the event there is a claim under any of the physical damage coverages for which a separate premium is shown on the declarations page results in the payment of a total loss, that portion of the premium that has not been fully earned as of the time of cancellation will be credited to you. NO BENEFIT TO BAILEE This coverage shall not directly or indirectly benefit any carrier or other bailee liable for loss to your covered auto. APPRAISAL If we and you do not agree on the amount of loss, either may demand an appraisal of the loss. In that event, each party will select a competent and disinterested appraiser. The two appraisers will select a third appraiser to decide any differences. Each appraiser will state separately the actual cash value and the amount of the loss. An award in writing by any two appraisers will determine the amount payable. Each party will pay its chosen appraiser and bear the expense of the third appraiser equally.

Page 14: INDIANA PERSONAL AUTOMOBILE OLICYauto accident and arranging for the settlement of any claim against you. We will also defend you, hire and pay a lawyer and pay all defense costs if

13

We do not waive any of our rights under this policy by agreeing to an appraisal. OTHER INSURANCE If other insurance also covers the loss, we will pay only our share of the loss. Our share is the proportion that our limit bears to the total of all applicable limits.

PART IV–UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORISTS COVERAGE

INSURING AGREEMENT If you pay a specific premium for uninsured motorists or underinsured motorists coverage, we will pay dam-ages, other than punitive or exemplary or attorney fees, ONLY for bodily injury physically sustained by you which you are legally entitled to receive from the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle or under-insured motor vehicle. We will pay the damages you suffer in an auto accident while occupying your cov-ered auto as a result of having been struck by an unin-sured motor vehicle or underinsured motor vehicle. The owner’s or operator’s liability for these damages must arise out of the ownership, maintenance or use of the uninsured motor vehicle or underinsured motor vehicle. Any judgment for damages arising out of a lawsuit brought without written consent is not binding on us. We will pay under this coverage damages caused by an auto accident with an underinsured motor vehi-cle only after the limits of liability under any applicable bodily injury liability bonds or policies have been ex-hausted by payments of judgments or settlements. ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS USED ONLY IN THIS PART IV An Uninsured motor vehicle is a: 1. motor vehicle where there is no bodily injury pol-

icy or liability bond available at the time of the auto accident.

2. motor vehicle where there is insurance available at the time of the auto accident but the company writing the insurance is or becomes insolvent or denies coverage.

3. Hit-and-run motor vehicle that strikes you while you are occupying your covered auto, if neither the driver nor the owner of the hit-and-run motor vehicle can be identified.

An underinsured motor vehicle is a: 1. motor vehicle where there is a bodily injury policy

or liability bond available at the time of the auto

2. motor vehicle where there is a bodily injury policy or liability bond available at the time of the auto acci-dent but the limits of that policy or bond are reduced by payments to persons, other than persons insured, injured in the auto accident to less than the limit of liability for underinsured motorists coverage.

An underinsured motor vehicle is not an uninsured motor vehicle. PROTECTION FOR OTHERS Anyone occupying your covered auto, with the cov-ered auto owner’s permission has the same rights and obligations that you have under this coverage. Anyone that is entitled to recover damages for care or loss of services, because of bodily injury sustained by you or anyone occupying your covered auto, with the covered auto owner’s permission has the same rights and obligations that you have under this cover-age.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY The limit of uninsured motorists or underinsured motor-ists bodily injury liability coverage shown on the decla-rations page for “each person” is the maximum we will pay for bodily injury sustained by one person in any one auto accident, including all injuries and damages to others resulting from this bodily injury. Subject to this limit of “each person”, the limit of uninsured motor-ists or underinsured motorists bodily injury liability cov-erage shown on the declarations page for “each acci-dent”, is the maximum we will pay for bodily injury sustained by two or more persons in the same auto accident. This is the most we will pay regardless of the number of autos described on the declarations page, persons insured, claims, claimants, policies, or motor vehicles involved in the auto accident. However, the limit of uninsured motorists or underinsured motorists bodily injury liability coverage shall be reduced by all sums paid by or on behalf of persons or organizations who may be legally responsible for your bodily injury. This includes all sums paid under the liability coverage of this policy. All claims made under this Part IV of the policy, including all derivative claims of whatever nature such as loss of society, loss of services, and/or loss of consortium, shall be deemed to be merged and consolidated into the stated limit of liability for one person under the “each person” limit of liability specified on the declarations page.

Expenses of recovery will be repaid to us out of any damages recovered. OTHER INSURANCE If there is other applicable uninsured motorists or un-derinsured motorists coverage, we will pay only our share of the loss. Our share is the proportion that our limit of liability bears to the total of all applicable limits. Any coverage we provide shall be excess over any other uninsured motorists or underinsured motorists coverage, except for bodily injury to you when occu-pying a covered auto. If there is other applicable insurance available under more than one policy, any recovery for damages for bodily injury sustained by a person insured may not exceed the highest of the applicable limit of any one vehicle under this insurance or any other insurance. We will not pay for any damages which would dupli-cate any payment made for damages under any other insurance.

effective on the date the Indiana Department of Insur-ance approves the use of the change and if the change does not require additional premium. The premium for each term of this policy is determined by information in our possession at the inception date of that term. Any change in this information which would affect the rating of your policy gives us the right to make an additional charge or refund on a pro-rata basis. REGARDLESS OF PREMIUM CHANGE, YOU HAVE A DUTY TO INFORM US OF ANY SUCH CHANGE (including but not limited to change in: vehi-cles, use of vehicles, Named Insured’s and additional driver’s occupations, marital status, garaging address, residents in household, children eligible to drive, driver’s physical condition, medication or moving out of the State of Indiana). CANCELLATION DURING THE POLICY PERIOD The Named Insured appearing on the declarations page may cancel this policy by returning it to us or by advising us in writing the future date and time the Named Insured wishes the cancellation to be effective. The earned premium will be computed on a pro-rata basis. This means that we will retain premium for only those days that you were protected. However, a $25.00 cancellation charge will be applied to a policy canceling per Named Insured’s written request, except insured deceased, interstate rewrite, and total loss can-cellations. This fee is in addition to any application, bill-ing, late, and SR-22 filing fees already charged. We will not refuse to issue or cancel this policy solely because of your age, sex, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, marital status, or residence within the State of Indiana. We may cancel this policy by mailing or delivering no-tice of cancellation to you at the address shown on the declarations page. The earned premium will be com-puted on a pro-rata basis. The effective date of cancel-lation stated in a notice is the end of the policy period. Proof of mailing a notice of cancellation shall be suffi-cient proof of notice. Upon cancellation, you may be entitled to a premium refund. If the refund is less than $10.00, no refund will be sent unless you specifically request it. If you owe us less than $10.00, we will not pursue the amount due. We have the right to cancel this policy for any reason within the first fifty-nine (59) days from its inception, with at least a ten (10) day notice of cancellation. If we do not cancel your policy within the first fifty-nine

Page 24: INDIANA PERSONAL AUTOMOBILE OLICYauto accident and arranging for the settlement of any claim against you. We will also defend you, hire and pay a lawyer and pay all defense costs if

23

(59) days, then it can only be cancelled for one of the following reasons: With at least a ten (10) day notice of cancellation for: Nonpayment of premium. With at least a twenty (20) day notice of cancellation for: 1. Misrepresentation by you of any material fact in the

ease and does not produce a certificate from a physician testifying to the operator's unqualified ability to operate a motor vehicle safely; or

RENEWAL PROVISIONS We will not refuse to renew this policy solely because of your age, sex, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, marital status, or residence within the State of Indiana. Subject to our consent, you may renew this policy. When we consent to renew this policy, you must pay the renewal premium in advance. We will mail you a notice telling you when your premium must be paid. This notice also serves as a ten (10) day notice of can-cellation. If you fail to pay the required premium when due, your policy will be cancelled for non-payment of pre-mium. We have the right not to renew your policy with at least a twenty (20) day notice of non-renewal. If we decide not to renew your policy, we will mail a non-renewal notice to you at the address shown on the declara-tions page. Proof of mailing a notice of non-renewal shall be proof of notice. Once a non-renewal notice has been mailed to you, you still have an obligation to make premium payments when due. Failure to pay any such payments will result in the cancellation of your policy effective the cancella-

24

tion date and time that appears on the Notice of Pay-ment Due/Notice of Cancellation. No late payments will be accepted and coverage will not be extended to the non-renewal date. BANKRUPTCY We are not relieved of any obligation under this policy because of your bankruptcy or insolvency. FRAUD OR MISREPRESENTATION This policy was issued in reliance on the information provided on your insurance application. We may void coverage under this policy if you or an insured person have knowingly concealed or misrepresented any ma-terial fact or circumstance, or engaged in fraudulent conduct, at the time application was made. We may cancel this policy if you have knowingly con-cealed or misrepresented any material fact or circum-stance, or engaged in fraudulent conduct, in connection with the presentation or settlement of a claim. No coverage will be provided to any person who has knowingly concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance, or engaged in fraudulent conduct, in connection with the presentation or settlement of a claim. We may void this policy for fraud or misrepresentation even after the occurrence of an accident or loss. This means that we will not be liable for any claims or dam-ages which would otherwise be covered. PREMIUM PAYMENT If your “initial” premium payment is by check, draft or any remittance other than cash, coverage under this policy is conditioned upon the check, draft, or remit-tance being honored upon presentment to the financial institution upon which it is drawn. If the check, draft, or remittance is not honored upon presentment, this policy will be deemed void from its inception, as if the policy never took effect. This means that we will not be liable under this policy for any claims or damages that would otherwise be covered if the check, draft, or remittance had been honored upon presentment to the financial institution upon which it is drawn. If your “installment” or “renewal” payment is by check, draft or any remittance other than cash, coverage un-der this policy will continue provided the check, draft, or remittance is honored upon presentment to the finan-cial institution upon which it is drawn. If the check, draft, or remittance is not honored upon presentment, this policy will be cancelled at the date and time shown on the Notice of Payment Due/Notice of Cancellation that would have applied to the payment that was not hon-

ored. LATE PAYMENT In order to continue your coverage, your installment or renewal payment must be received in our office prior to the cancellation date and time shown on your Notice of Payment Due/Notice of Cancellation or Renewal No-tice/Cancellation Notice. Payment effective dates and times vary per the payment method: 1. Payments made through the Safe Auto Phone Pay

4. Walk-in payments are effective the date and time the Safe Auto cashier receives the payment.

If the payment effective date and time is prior to the cancellation date and time shown on your Notice of Payment Due/Notice of Cancellation, the policy will not cancel. If your payment is effective after the cancella-tion date and time, your policy will cancel as of the date and time shown on your Notice of Payment Due/Notice of Cancellation that applies to that payment. We will accept a payment effective after the cancella-tion date and time and reinstate your policy, as long as the payment’s effective date and time is no more than thirty (30) days after the cancellation’s effective date and time. In the event we accept your late payment and reinstate your policy, we will not cover any loss or auto accident which occurred during the period between the cancellation date and time and the reinstatement date and time. In the event that this policy is reinstated, it will reinstate under the same policy terms, limits, conditions, elections, and exclusions which were in effect prior to cancellation. Your policy expiration and/or renewal date will remain un-changed by any reinstatement by us. We reserve the right not to accept late payments on policies that have cancelled. We will not accept any payment that has a payment effective date and time that is more than thirty (30) days after the cancellation date and time.
